The exciting and sometimes disgusting origin story of Perry Mason starring Matthew Rhys

so excited. i love this damn show

never finished the first season, assumed it wasn't going forward, so now maybe I will

anyone watching s2?

enjoying so far, loved della & anita at the boxing match

yeah me too. i forgot how much i love watching Rhys act. last one was pretty good considering it was a getting the band back together episode

I forgot how much I liked this show ... everyone is so enjoyable to watch. The soundtrack (the non-songs) for some reason reminds me of Blade Runner? I could totally be mis-remembering the Blade Runner soundtrack, but there's definitely some iconic LA detective movie that it reminds me of.

though this show also gives me the same frustration as I had with Transatlantic where I have this urge to look up historical stuff online to look for references / fictionalization.

It's a good frustration tbh

its really good, if id to name the vibe its kind of got a black dahlia thing going on, which ofc is itself a stitch of ten other things but

terence blanchard’s score is incredible, i love it so much.

also similar to mrs maisel i love when thry go to a new location, like that amazing mission-style house in palm springs … i like trying to work out from exteriors how much is real & how much is added in, like beach scenes & stuff too

i’m finding this season i am having a hard time keeping track of the story threads in this one so i am stressed that there’s only 2 more episodes left

there aren’t that many story threads? some have kind of gotten short shrift though

i didn’t say there were that many, i just can’t keep them in my head well enough to keep up

The show is pretty great overall.

They’ve used the N-word several times now though, just seems unnecessary and in bad taste. That never stood out to me in season 1.

xxxpost sarahell you’re so otm about the bladerunner-ness of blanchard’s score, i havent stopped thinking about it. some similar qualities for sure

it never ceases to amaze me how quickly & unquestioningly perry is up for anything pete suggests.
we should go get on that boat.
we should jump off, it’s only an hour back to shore. LOLOLOLL

also perry + pete brawl was so fucking good, omg.

big lol for me when Perry references the brawl as Drake & Pete start puffing chests and squaring off

lol yes that was funny
pete’s look was like wtf man
